some "customers" that have owed me a little bit of moolah have all paid up today and I had a mystery check at the radio station when I went to town today! (for voicework) so I have mystery surprise money! kind of like when you clean out the couch cushions...only to the tune of over one-hundred bucks (I can't remember the last time I found that much in the couch!)
I'm celebrating my friend Paige's graduation from the nursing program today too! (Miss Molly and I had a girl's day, went to the "pinning ceremony" and lunch) The pinning ceremony was long, and a little odd because I didn't technically "know" any of the students except for my afforementioned friend Paige...but the slide show totally choked me up! Watching these people, these strangers, and their two year journey...How far they've come! I'm so proud of you, you adorable strangers you!!! especially you wacky-bald-guy-nurse! and you, skinny-sephardic-nosed-nurse-with-the-bad-bleach-job-and-the-twin-toddlers-that-you're-trying-to-make-a-better-life-for-nurse!
but especially you Paige, and even though I doubt you'll ever read this...I am SUPER proud of you and all the obstacles (albeit self-inflicted) that you've overcome! and i have the utmost respect for ANYONE who wants to be a nurse. I had fleeting aspirations in that area for a while...and nursing? so not for me! But thank the Goddess for these other folks!!!
Talked to my Oma today, and we're waiting for some test results...I've been a bit of an emotional wreck this week, trying to deal with the possibility/reality of my grandma being old and being sick. Dealing with guilt that I live so far away and that she's all alone. She sounded a lot better on the phone today and I'm trying really hard to go with the "no sense in worrying until we get the results" frame of mind (which works great when I'm talking to the kids or LGK about it..but it's an entirely different story in the wee hours of the morning when I can't sleep and I'm trying to figure out how to get work coverage and gas money if I have to hop in the car and drive to SL) Luckily for me I have the best hubby in the world and he's assured me that if that time comes, we'll deal with it and all will be well....so I'm celebrating that she's doing better this week, and hoping for positive results on the tests next week. *cross those fingers and toes with me if you please*
Also "celebrating" father's day this weekend. I've been forbidden to buy any gifties for LGK...see, we were broke on Mother's day so there were no gifties por moi (no problemo) so we're carrying the theme over for father's day (which leaves more moolah for my upcoming birthday!! see it's all part of my evil plan!!!)
This is actually a tremendous relief because at a tour of a local retailer the other day I was barraged with their helpful gift "suggestions" - "perfect for dad!!" - like bbq grilles, golf tees, sponge bob boxers, U of O ballcaps and all-in-one screwdrivers!!! the mind boggles!!! Do fathers really want these things? 'cause neither of my dads or my hubby are this kind of guy. So what on earth do you get them!?!?!?!?!!? In my case...you make muffins on Sunday morning and LGK - he love's my muffins!!!! (I mean who doesn't really?!?!?!?!)
and another thing, on a totally unrelated note (I'm a bit disjointed today, but to be honest...who reads this blog anyway? me, that's who. and I think my mom sometimes. I think that's pretty much it, so I can be as disjointed and discombobulated as I wanna be!)
I adopted a monkey fetus!!! isn't it eerily adorable!?!?!

I don't want the monkey fetus in the bed. I know I can't stop the Fergasaurus from getting in, but I'm drawing the line here.
